Look to Him
“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:22 NIV) The Bible constantly reminds us to turn to God, and for a good reason.

The King is ALIVE!

Look Forward to the Resurrection
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant…They left that place and passed through Galilee.

I Am Who I Am
Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to theContinueContinue reading “I Am Who I Am”
That You May Know
Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them that you may tell your children and grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed my signs among them, and that you may know that IContinueContinue reading “That You May Know”
Do You See God?
She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” (Genesis 16:13 NIV) A while back, I wrote a devotional about Hagar being seen by God titled, “God Sees You.” While it’s always encouraging to be reminded ofContinueContinue reading “Do You See God?”
